By doing so, the common difficulties of accessing services due to transportation, being a latch-key kid, and child care are removed.This creates a unique opportunity for property managers, in partnership with AFS, to offer support services to their residents on the premises of the apartment complex. This allows children and parents to participate in programs in an easily accessible environment.While individual families' needs of course will vary, we seek to prioritize the well-being of the children, especially those who are \"latch-key kids\" (kids who come home from school before their parents are home from work and are left alone). Families with limited income often are not able to afford extracurricular or after school activities for their children. Through after-school activities such as homework support and youth development programs for older youth, the children will develop a sense of connection and community, and no longer feel isolation or loneliness.AFS seeks to come alongside of the parents, to get to know them, introduce them to others outside of their normal circles, and connect them to people and resources . While parents may express needs for material items such as clothing or food, often the need is also for social/emotional support ... just having someone to listen to them and be their cheerleader gives them the motivation to keep on trying.AFS will support the families by referring them to community resources or whenever possible, will provide the resource directly. When appropriate, efforts are coordinated with schools, churches, other nonprofits/ministries, or community agencies that may also touch the lives of these families. Together, we create \"resource teams\" so that families can serve families.​" } ] } ] ```
